PAUL PAULSON - 1919



Death of Paul Paulson After a Long and Honorable Life

(Gully Advance, February 14, 1919)



  Died, at the home of his son, Carl, in this village, on February 

10, 1919, Paul Paulson, aged 83 years and five months.  He had been in 

his usual good health and retired to his sleeping room as usual, and no 

doubt went to sleep like a tired child, but he never rose from his 

slumber, but died in peaceful rest, to all appearances without pain or 

suffering.  After a long, busy life he died as he had lived honored, 

trusted, and respected.  He reared his own monument, while he lived in 

the hearts of those nearest and dearest to him.  He was a man of good 

habits, moral character, and sturdy constitution, and he continued to be 

active in his daily pursuits till long past the age at which men 

ordinarily drop out of the ranks of busy people.  To this end there is no 

doubt that his active life and pleasant disposition largely contributed.

  But he is gone.  Another name is stricken from that ever lessening 

roll of our old settlers, and his accustomed place in the household is 

vacant, a good home is left to attest how badly they will miss him.  It 

must be so- these tender human ties cannot be severed without a pang.  

Yet, in such a death there is really no cause for grief.  His life's toil 

was done, and well done.  Like a weary traveler who has reached his 

destination post, tired of life's duties and cares, he laid down to rest.

  Deceased, born in Sweden in 1834, and came to this country with his 

family in 1882; was one of the first settlers on a claim in the town of 

Eden in the early 80's and continued to reside there until a few years 

ago when he retired from farming and moved to this place.  Mrs. Paulson 

died about 8 years ago.  The daughters are: Mrs. Louis Olson, Mrs. Carl 

Martinson of Eden, and Mrs. C.A. Kjos, of Montana.  The sons are: Carl 

and Nick of Gully, Paul of Eden, and Lars of Trail.  Funeral services 

were conducted at the house Thursday forenoon and at 1 o'clock at the 

Olga church, interment taking place there, with Rev. Stensgaard the 

officiating clergyman.
